Rock & Roll HOFer Alice Cooper has stories for days.
Alice shares a drugged-up encounter with David Letterman, chugging Budweiser with Ed McMahon, the genius of Johnny Carson and his hatred of disco! Alice also chats about being nominated for the Radio Hall of Fame. Oh, and his golf handicap is RIDICULOUS! Its a fun conversation!

Bill O'Reilly's new book with Martin Dugard is a No Spin look at all 45 presidents. 'Confronting the Presidents' is a great read that humanizes all of our Commanders-in-Chiefs. Bill details the three Presidents he'd invite over for a cocktail party. He reveals the seldom spoken-of President that accomplished the most. Plus, what does Bill O'Reilly thin of Presidential term limits? Fun listen!

After being eligible for 20 years(!), Foreigner is FINALLY getting into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Lou Gramm talks about that 20-year wait and the incredible duet he has planned with one of Foreigner's greatest songs. Plus, who is Lou looking forward to meeting at the ceremony? It's not who you would expect! Finally, what's it like to shoot a game of pool with John Lennon? Let's just say John did not disappoint! It's an incredible story.

Actor Harold Perrineau invites you to join the #Fromily! From the producers of 'Lost', catch the Season 3 premier of 'From' Sunday, 9/22 at 9p EST on MGM+. Watch Seasons 1 and 2 on Prime Video. It's a wonderfully creepy watch! You might recognize Harold from 'Lost' and 'Oz'. Great guy, great actor! Right off the bat, Gunner suggests Harold should change his stage name! They talk daughters (SIX between the two!), social media & holding together a 20+ year marriage in Hollywood.

Great interview!
Lita Ford's first tour with The Runaways was opening for The Ramones! We talk Runaways break-up, 'Close My Eyes Forever' with Ozzy and the tour that saved her LIFE in 2012. Plus, her upbringing in England and her mom's relationship with David Bowie! She's got some INCREDIBLE rock stories!

Geezer Butler's autobiography, 'Into the Void: From Birth to Black Sabbath & Beyond' is a great rock memoir. This is the guy that wrote all the lyrics for Sabbath! Amazing. Coming from an Irish Catholic family of SEVEN, Gunner asks how hard Geezer had to fight at the dinner table for food! From exploding amps to The Beatles to bass player jokes, its a great talk with a true rock legend.

Kevin Cronin is always a great interview. How did Kevin and REO Guitarist Gary Richrath meet? Awesome story! Also, Kevin is NOT a fan of concert venues constantly changing names for sponsors.
Finally, being a Central-Illinois band, Gunner asks about Big Al's ALL NUDE Strip Club in Peoria! Yes, Kevin's been there and the story is great!

George Thorogood is a rock star. Bad to the bone and all that guitar hero stuff. BUT, he'd rather talk about Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson. Lou Gehrig and Yogi Berra. And you better not call baseball a SPORT, because (according to George) it's NOT a sport! It's a freakin' GAME! Plus, George tells us the FOUR things every band needs on the road. He'ss a ball-buster and a BLAST!

First of all, say Stix Zadinia as fast as you can. Keep doing it til you get the joke. LOL!
The Steel Panther drummer is an awesome guest! Remember going to see the great 'hair bands' of the 1980's? When you go to a Steel Panther show, you get that and whole lot more. No 'politically correct' with these guys. Jump into the time machine and enjoy the podcast!
